Alibris enjoys a generally positive reputation among customers, particularly for its wide selection of used books at competitive prices and reliable shipping. Many customers appreciate the timely delivery and the ability to track orders, contributing to overall satisfaction. However, concerns arise regarding the variability in book conditions, with some items not meeting expectations, and delays in shipping for urgent needs. Additionally, the separate shipping fees for each book can deter purchases. Despite these issues, the platform remains a favored choice for many due to its extensive inventory and user-friendly website.

The price is great and I love the options available for shipping.
I have been looking for and wanting this book. Thank you!
I love that Alibris is bringing every day more, literature books in Spanish.
I adore Alibris! I find unbeatable prices for my brand new favorite books. Besides that, there is always coupon codes on the website and sent directly to our emails. The shipment process is super fast and the book are sent carefully packaged.
Found the textbook I needed at the right (low) price
Wonderful. Totally enjoy the experience repeatedly. Keep up the good work
Slow website, difficult to sort by seller in order to group shipments together, multiple errors.
Thanks, it was great. I appreciated the free samle read. And the shipping is a average, not too much. This book was cheaper than the kindle version on Amazon.
Good service for finding out of print books and rare copies
Easy to use website. Items I wanted were available at reasonable prices.
I love a libris! Why would I want to give more dollars to the 'rain forest' company when I can support a great organization like a libris?
I love ordering from alibris! Always great products and prices.
I love shopping Alibris books! Great prices and great quality!
Alibris is the best. I recommend it to all my friends and family, and I don't often do that with a site or product.
Alibris is the best of bookstores. Extraordinary collection (I've never been unable to find what I was looking for.), and it helps to keep perfectly usable books in circulation. I even shop for gifts here. Have never been let down by a "Very good" purchase or "like new" purchase. Usually by Very Good for myself and Like New for gifts.
If I hear a great interview or read something that influences me, and they recommend a book of importance to them, I can often get my hands on that book at an affordable price through Alibris.
Always Alibris - my go-to book source to feed my bibliophile self.
Always dependable for book deliveries or for troubleshooting the rare occasions necessary.
Nice easy shopping experience. Nice low prices too.
The last book was no problems especially ordering it three times on another but each fell through
Wonderful book delivered very quickly. I will buy more from Alibris
Everything about the order and shipping process was smooth and my book came home within a week <3
Answer: Let's just say, they advertise falsely. They misrepresent what they are selling. Buyer beware.

Answer: Really Michael, contact you directly? Why should we have to. There is a bad trend here. Seems MANY of us contact you and you DONT respond
Answer: I saw the fake stellar reviews and did not dig deeper. I til... I had an issue. Initially, I wanted to give a small seller some business after COVID and the site looked really good. What a big mistake that was! Shame on this outfit.
